A co-worker actually tracked down such an issue.  It turned out that
in certain cases of misuse of indirection, you could assign new values
to constants, such that '2' might have the value 1.

Did you never experiment with

   const int i = 3 ;
   int *p = &i ;
   *p = 1 ;

in C, as a student?

Probably called a subroutine with constant 2 as an argument, which the 
subroutine modified. I don't think FORTRAN used dummy arguments or 
call-by-value.

Reminds me of a bit of Elisp I wrote in XEmacs.  Someone complained it
modified -- or tried to modify? -- the literal array (?) I had when us-
ing GNU Emacs.  It's been a while.  Anyway, I never experienced it as a
bug, and I suppose there was a difference in implementation.

So no, it's not just /early Fortran/.

That’s not the kind of comment I would have written, because I can’t
see how it could ever have been useful. Perhaps something more explanatory,
like (wild guess)

       i += 2; /* increment occurrences */

and then the reader looks at the surrounding code to see what exactly
are the “occurrences” being counted up, and that either confirms that
2 is the right number to add, or it does not.

That's just because you've stopped learning programming languages.  You
should take up Rust one of these days.

Then you can find yourself writing comments like

   /* functions need to start with fn, */

until you remember it.  You see, functions don't start with fn in C, nor
Fortran.

And I personally don't understand why people are harping on that stu-
dents shouldn't comment the obvious, because it isn't obvious to them
because they haven't memorized the syntax yet.

Of course, we /shouldn't/ have such code in production, but that's man-
agerial problem.  Some managers are fine with student written code, and
vibe code.  That's their problem.  Especially when it stops working.

no it is the right code easy to understand
comment can be avoid if someone use meaning varible (even if one char

Of course.  He was a CS weenie - any mention of low-level
programming makes those types turn purple.

Although Structured Programming introduced some good concepts,
it also built a following of fanatics more bent on crucifying
infidels than writing good practical programs.  Some people
came to see the number of function calls a program made as
a figure of merit, resulting in dozens of tiny functions that
caused control to jump all over the place (which made virtual
memory systems thrash).  And the end result wasn't that much
more readable.

The undisciplined use of GOTOs is bad, agreed.  But the
undisciplined use of function calls isn't a whole lot better.
After all, a function call is just a GOTO paired with a
"come from", so in the end it's all still spaghetti code -
it's just that the "structured" code runs double strands.

Nonsense.

Dijstra started programming in 1951, they didn't even have
assemblers on the machines, it was pretty much naked machine code.

Whatever else his faults may have been (arrogance certainly being
among them), he was no stranger to low-level programming.

Is there such a thing as a *disciplined* use of gotos?

I find the C code I write tends to do a lot of dynamic resource
allocations. These can sometimes fail with errors. So error recovery
will invariably involve cleaning up those parts of the allocations
which already succeeded. Gotos are no good for this; you need to exit
levels of structure nesting one by one, disposing of allocations as
you go.

I put together an example here
<https://gitlab.com/ldo/a_structured_discipline_of_programming>. This
is an extension module that offers services to Python code, because
that is just about the worst example I could think of, for those who
think gotos can cut it.

Yes, especially in COBOL or assembly language.  For instance,
a GOTO to the end of a function ensures any of its cleanup code
gets executed, and fulfils a goal of structured proramming:
each function has one exit point.

I know that a lot of CS types are going to stick pins into little
dolls that look like me for saying this, but IMHO resource pointers,
handles, etc. should be global.  Possible exceptions are resources
that are going to be used solely by the current function - but even
then, if that function calls another function that fails horribly,
there's stuff that might not get cleaned up.  That's why all my
C programs contain a function quit_cleanup(char *errmsg), which
de-allocates all resources and then exits (displaying "errmsg"
if it isn't NULL).  I can call that function anywhere, safe in
the knowledge that by the time it finishes (it never returns),
everything will have be freed.
